This is our review of the Dell G5 5000 gaming PC, an i5-10400F model with a GTX 1660 Super and a single stick of 8GB of RAM. This part focuses on the build quality, the shady billing practices (of our separate Alienware PC we bought), and the proprietary, unusable nature of the components Dell selected. This thing is worse than the Walmart PC we reviewed, because at least that system could have its parts mostly salvaged into something else. Our gaming, thermal, noise, and power benchmarks for the Dell G5 5000 will run in a second video, publishing a day after this one, so be sure to subscribe for that.
